  Breakdown 1997

  ★★★½ Watched 08 Feb 2025

  90 minutes of no-frills yuppies vs. hillbillies action-suspense, its only indulgence being a wildly homoerotic car chase climax

  ★★★★ Watched 21 May 2024

  unfortunate that I got a cut of this that was heavy on U2 and had zero Fripp
  minus one star for making me feel interested in U2

  Civil War 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Apr 2024

  A) 5 stars for having a great time. This succeeded wildly as an action/apocalypse genre movie: put the best parts of Dawn of the Dead (2004), Independence Day, and Apocalypse Now in a blender and get the intensely exhilarating and frightening second half of this movie. I actually walked out grinning.

  B) 1 star for director's politics but also who cares. This movie mostly has dumb-guy politics while wanting to appear smart (just like Ex Machina) but this time it…
